Nice review!

USD 120? Did a cursory check and saw it retailing for USD 169.99! (But there was a 20 buck mail-in rebate i think)

Where did you get yours from?

the 20hours battery life seems interesting compared to other brands which mostly sport around 10,12 or 14 hours only... but even with 20 hours batt life, i still think it is somewhat a lame excuse for an electronic gadget, all these flash players that is... having to change a new battery everyday or every 2 days is juz a bad idea....
its different if u are having a rechargable batt tho...

IMHO, we should all use rechargeables, if possible. Helps reduce wastage and helps protect the environment.

But seriously, the Rio Forge looks very nice. Wish I could own one too.
